Writing Spreadsheet, Yearly Goals, and All That Jazz
Wandering through my friendslist, I discovered a rec of this gem of a writing spreadsheet.
On a whim, I plugged in a 500K goal for the year and plugged in completed fic numbers only with word counts from the day of completion/posting.
My January target, as generated by the spreadsheet, was 42,466 words. My January writing output was 24,497 words.
Fascinating. You won't believe how much of that word count was just commentfic. I also did not count double fills on 10-word and 6-word days. I simply multiplied my number of fills by 10 and 6 respectively.
I'll keep better track now, but I'm already loving this way of doing that.
